Craving for the taste of Philippine daily bread called pan de sal, or bread of salt, my daughter decided to bake her own.
I was waiting for the result yesterday, and I fell asleep while waiting.
This early morning, I was greeted not with the smell of pan de sal but a tray full of cheese pan de sal.
Success! Ha ha

Yup, pan de sal is really tasty. With cheese added, it's a double yum treat, truly.
You nailed it, Brenna, the smell of pan de sal does fill the morning and people do queue up, even before covid time, to buy "supot" or brown bags filled with pan de sal.

Yup, I think the salt makes the difference. At least that is what I know.
The pan de sal is good as it is. But we also put spread sometimes such as condensed milk, cheez whiz, peanut butter, cream cheese, just butter.
Or, you'd be surprised, we dip the pan de sal in hot coco or coffee. Ha ha

My daughter's flatmates gobbled it all up. Ha ha
That's the thing with pan de sal, one is not enough.

We’ve all become bakers these days, someone more someone less successful

@LowRiderX I saw a video on youtube of people trying their hands on baking. One needed an axe to splice her bread, and was unsuccessful. I wondered if she used flour or cement. Ha ha.
Glad you were able to at least bake yours edible.

@eileenleyva I’m not some dough master I have to admit. Sometimes it turns out well sometimes not, but everything is eaten

@aureategloom Pita is a preference but I couldn't afford it. Just too expensive here. That photo gave me a craving.
My daughter baked a loaf bread today.

@eileenleyva yeah she won an electric oven last time in her own cooperative meeting last January. When quarantine happened we decided to open it and use foe the first time. We already had baked some bread and even roasted chicken already.

@rsa101 Wow! That is wonderful. Glad the lucky wife won the electric oven and the lucky hubby gets to eat home-baked bread and roast chicken!
Makes one really look at the beauty life brings despite the difficulties, huh.
Here's to more home bonding activities. Have more fun!

Glad your wife has the ability to bake, it's an activity I envy because in the olden days, people did prepare their own bread.
My daughter made a loaf today.

Tell your daughter she is not a baker until she makes a carrot cake--and I taste it!

A challenge! Ha ha. I will tell her. Am sure she'll find a way to send it to you.
She's a carrot eater.

Yes. The pandemia turned my daughter into a pan expert. Now she can make cookies and loaf bread, cheese bread, raisin bread and blueberry muffins. Ha ha
